The
University of Virginia Library and the Lewis and Clark Trail Heritage
Foundation have put together an exhibition and book of maps and
journals which examines the planning of the Lewis and Clark Expedition
and the cartographic tradition that made the expedition possible.
The exhibition shows the evolving views of the American continent
and the "Passage to the Indies" as they appear in maps up to the
Lewis and Clark Expedition. It focuses especially on the earliest
cartographic representations of America and the Northwest Passage,
the results of early expeditions to the Mississippi basin in search
of a route to the Pacific Ocean, and the early exploration of
the Pacific Northwest.

This site
focuses on the map-making aspects of the Expedition, contains
historical data, wide-reaching, scholarly material, and extensive
links to valid historical sources.
This site sets the historical stage, features online access to
Lewis and Clark maps and other primary resources, and provides
related activities and lesson plans.

The National
Council of the Lewis & Clark Bicentennial is coordinating the
celebration at the national level. Their site contains information
on the Council, agencies and contacts, conservation, projects,
related links, coming events, education,
American Indian tribes, and more.

The
trail extends from St. Louis to the Pacific Ocean, through 11
states that the Corps of Discovery traveled. This
comprehensive site provides trail history, trail sites and events
along the entire trail from 2003 through 2006.

Educators
gain a dynamic understanding of The Lewis and Clark expedition
(1803-1806) and the nature of the trail's historical and modern
landscapes. To achieve these objectives, The Education Project
utilizes advanced education technologies, integrates interdisciplinary
curricula into the classroom, supports scholarly dialogue and
develops multimedia geographical data accessible through the Internet.

This site
contains a nation-wide map of the Journey of Discovery
with clickable links to articles written by Phil Scriver, based
on knowledge he gained over the past 30 years by actively participating
in a variety of projects and tours related to the Lewis and Clark
Expedition.
